New Beijing Match Details

January 22, 2011

NEW BEIJING “JAPAN TOUR 2011”
11/02/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. The Decisive Battle!: Liu Bei Ito Vs Cao Zhang
2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!: Dragon Achoooo! & Zhou Yu Vs Ranjei Lee & Jet Bar
3. Opium War!?: Queen Elizabeth & Statue Of David Vs Golden Horn & Silver Horn
4. National Scramble For The Imperial Seal!: King Andui Qin Vs Great Slave No. 643 Vs Megumi Shin Akira Ra Nuruhachi Vs Emperor Qin Vs Zen Liu
5. Rushi’s Last Play: Choun-Shiryu, Rushi Togo & Young Master Togo Vs Hazime Hutoshi, Somato & Giant Boshoku

I’m pretty sure I butchered most if not all of the names being used in the show.

Each match presents a different tale that takes place in the world of New Beijing Pro Wrestling.

1. The Decisive Battle!
Back in China, New Beijing has a popular feud between two factions, the Wei faction and the Shu faction. Every year, one wrestler from each faction is chosen to take part in a big match known as the “Northern Expedition Derby“. However, to commemorate China becoming the second largest economy in the world New Beijing decided to have the match take place on their Japan tour instead.

2. Chinese Stars Gathered In Japan!
Some of China’s biggest stars from the silver screen gather together in Shin-Kiba to enjoy a dream contest.

3. Opium War!?
Centuries ago, China was notorious for importing of opium across the world. It was a lucrative market for the nation, but as more and more of the global population fell ill or became degenerates due to opium addiction, China was banned from any further opium importing. However, opium was still smuggled outside of the country and a black market grew because of it. The illegal opium trafficking led to conflict between China and Great Britain, with a newly formed discipline committee deciding to solve tensions by having both countries compete against each other in a wrestling match. A wrestling match that happens to involve Queen Elizabeth and the Statue Of David. Why do I have the feeling that the Statue Of David will turn out to be David Beckham?

4. National Scramble For The Imperial Seal!
The Imperial Seal has been handed down from generation to generation as proof of the holder’s right to be master of the world. A state of emergency in 2010 took place when the Seal went missing. This led to the sudden collapse of New Beijing Pro Wrestling. Now leaders from around the world travel to China in search of the ancient artifact and claim the absent throne. In an unexpected turn of events, word spread that the Imperial Seal was found in Japan. Now an epic battle takes place as several warriors go to war over who the artifact belongs to.

5. Rushi’s Last Play
With his retirement on the horizon, Rushi Goto takes part in one last performance. But while one legend prepares to leave wrestling, a new generation of warriors are eager to rake his place.

From what I was able to understand, this is a list of who some of the wrestlers actually are.

Rushi Togo = Dick Togo
Young Master Togo = Kenny Omega
Hazime Hutoshi = GENTARO
Somato = HARASHIMA
Giant Boshoku = Shuji Ishikawa
Great Slave No. 643 = Sanshiro Takagi
Megumi Shin Akira Ra Nuruhachi = Michael Nakazawa
Dragon Achoooo! = KUDO
Zhou Yu = Konaka = Pehlwan
Ranjei Lee = Lingerie Muto
Jet Bar = Tanomusaku Toba

Shin-Kiba 1st RING

CRUISER’S GAME, 06/03/2011
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

A correction on one of the results from “NEVER MIND 2010“. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation Vs DISASTER-BOX trios match was only for the UWA World Trios Title, which DISASTER-BOX won. The Jiyugaoka Six Man Tag Team Titles and Nihonkai Six Man Tag Team Titles are still in the hands of Michael Nakazawa, Hikaru Sato & Tomimitsu Matsunaga. With Toru Owashi now possibly done with DDT for the time being it is unknown what will happen to the UWA Titles.

Union 3rd December Results

Union, 03/12/10
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
241 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hiro Tsumaki Debut Match: Kento Miyahara defeated Hiro Tsumaki with a Boston Crab (8:27).

As part of joining Union on a full-time basis, Sanshiro Takagi has formed his own faction called TKG48. So far Shigehiro Irie and DJ Nira are members along with Takagi. At the end of the show Takagi introduced the fourth member…Muneneori Sawa!

Shigehiro Irie was full of confidence after getting the pinfall in the main event. He recalled losing a match to Shuji Ishikawa over a year ago and challenged him to a rematch in his hometown of Nagoya on 16th January.

The rules for Match #2 had the person getting the pinfall needing to drink an ashtry full of tequila in under five seconds in order to win the match. Everyone involved got a pin at one point or another but Choun Shiryu was the only one to drink the ashtray in one go. After the match, Choun told Union representative Naomi Susan that the promotion has a following in China and that he invited a student of his to come to Japan and try out for Union.

El Generico was announced to appear on Union’s 3rd January show at Korakuen Hall. He will be having a match against the debuting Shinichiro Tominaga.


DDT “NON-FIX 12.1” Results

December 10, 2010

DDT “NON-FIX 12.1”, 01/12/2010
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
207 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Hikaru Sato defeated Kazuki Hirata with a German Suplex (7:14).
2. MIKAMI defeated Rion Mizuki with a Horizontal Aussie Suplex Hold (10:50).
3. KUDO & Tanomusaku Toba defeated Danshoku Dino & Makoto Oishi when Toba pinned Dino after a Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO (6:44).
4. Michael Nakazawa & Tomimitsu Matsunaga defeated Takao Soma & Keisuke Ishii by DQ when Soma attacked the referee (9:38).
5. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango defeated HARASHIMA & Yukihiro Abe when Owashi pinned Abe with the Power Bomb (16:51).
6. Dick Togo, GENTARO & Yasu Urano defeated Kota Ibushi, Antonio Honda & Daisuke Sasaki when Urano pinned Sasaki with a La Magistral Cutback (15:40).

The show began with all of the active members of Belt Hunter X Hunter in the ring. Danshoku Dino asked Hikaru Sato how he was feeling after he lost the KO-D Openweight Title to Dick Togo. Sato said he would work even harder to regain the title. Dino then asked Keisuke Ishii how he felt after losing the Young Drama Cup Final to Takao Soma. Ishii said he will begin a fresh start and is looking forward to the future. They were still upset that their stable, which was built around having champions no matter how coveted or prestigious the titles may be, are now belt-less and feared the group would break up. Masa Takanashi entered the ring to join his stablemates as Dino announced that Belt Hunter X Hunter will go on hiatus to allow everyone to go their own directions and grow as wrestlers before restarting anew.

Dino introduced Makoto Oishi from K-DOJO as his unnannounced Tag Team partner before Match #3. Dino revealed his plans for the future was to make a new MEN’s Club with Oishi as his first signing. Makoto refused the offer, even with Dino trying to give him a welcome kiss. Dino eventually got to kiss Oishi during the match, but he was given a Cutter by his partner which led to a Right Hook from Tanomusaku Toba followed by the Diving Double Knee Drop from KUDO to end the match. Dino still offered Oishi a spot in his new MEN’s Club. He even asked KUDO, Toba, Tsurumi Amon & referee Yukinori Matsui to raise their hands if they wanted Oishi to join the group, which they did. Amon then announced that Dino and Oishi will have a match on 26th December with Oishi forced to join Dino’s ‘Club’ if he loses.

Takao Soma betrayed Keisuke Ishii in their match to become the newest member of the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation. Ishii was about to win their match when he hit Tomimitsu Matsunaga with the Kneel Kick but Soma Dropkicked the ref when he was counting to three, getting themselves disqualified on purpose. Soma gave Ishii a Schwein and then hit him over the head with a small plastic box (similar to the ones used by Kowloon in Michinoku Pro) before posing with his new team mates. Afterwards, Soma demanded to Tsurumi Amon that he should get the KO-D Openweight Title shot at Korakuen Hall for winning the Young Drama Cup. Amon shot down the demand but instead offered Soma a shot at the KO-D Tag Team Championships on 12th December. Soma accepted and chose Matsunaga as his partner. One half of the champions, Daisuke Sasaki came down and confronted Soma only to get attacked by the Foundation until Antonio Honda ran down to make the save.

Toru Owashi requested Match #5 to take place as his stay in DDT will soon draw to a close. He encouraged Yukihiro Abe to give it his all in what could be their final encounter against each other. Despite having HARASHIMA as his partner on this night, they couldn’t get past the mountain team of Owashi & Hoshitango. After the match, Owashi challenged the Shit Heart ♥ Foundation to put their Trios Triple Crown on the line against Disaster-BOX on 26th December.

The GRANMA duo of Yasu Urano & GENTARO gain some momentum as they prepare for their upcoming KO-D Tag Team Title shot. The Shit Heart ♥ Foundation made their presence felt again, this time attacking Honda after the match. However, the GRANMA stable came to the rescue with Dick Togo and Antonio Honda teaming together to get rid of Michael Matsunaga with a Double Super Kick.
